First time user (v6.0.5-alpha) and wow what a difference this add on makes to MSFS 2020! Turned on cache and increased LOD and no impact to my fps or buttery smooth flights. Some scenery is about the same but other scenery has much more detail and is significantly better. One example I immediately noticed is almost all scenery with water/oceans/lakes are much better with Google maps (flying over the Florida Keys is stunning). I highly recommend to thoroughly scan and read the various faq's and watch the YouTube videos on the web site to educate yourself.

Is it possible to start the mod in the middle of a flight and get images into the sim? I'm on 6.0.4.

derekhe 9 hour(s) ago

Răspuns

No, you can't. The MSFS2020 will still use old connection to bing map. Please start before the game.

Thanks, that works. I'm running 6.0.4 without any issues.

actually you can. but have to disable rol cache check is load bing map in settings disabled start/restart with bing map off. then start the stuff and reopen settings. but i guess you better be never do this. just start this soft before msfs and choice map you know better for region you flight. and don't change it when you flight or you will found glitched changing textures. at different alt can use different textures. so simple is - no! never change map when you flight. because in some situation it's will not works. in some - it will broke earth

Uninstalled 6.0.3 and installed 6.0.5. It works. No issues regarding antivirus blocking the executive.

Alpha 6.0.4 working well so far - with the cache in the default location. Will test it in a different place. I also deleted/set to zero the MSFS rolling cache so only the Enhancer cache is being used. Not sure whether it's coincidental, but I haven't had any of my frequent network disconnects since then. Wow - that would be a bonus!
